Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Multiple task learning (MTL) neural networks are one of the better documented methods of inductive transfer of task knowledge (Caruana 1997). An MTL network is a feed-forward multi-layer network with an output node for each task being learned. The standard back-propagation of error learning algorithm is used to train all tasks in parallel. The sharing of internal representation in the hidden nodes is the method by which inductive bias occurs between related tasks within an MTL network (Baxter 1996). Previously, (Silver & Mercer 2002; Silver & Poirier 2004) have investigated the use of MTL networks as a basis for de-veloping machine lifelong learning (ML3) systems and have found them to have several limitations caused by the multi-ple outputs. In response to these problems, this article in-troduces context-sensitive MTL, or csMTL, and describes a

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
